Why did Salon choose to question Mr. Kennedy's methods and biases in this particular article, when the same methods and biases were present in their much touted Kennedy article on autism? Does it have anything to do with this article being published only in Rolling Stone, while the autism article was also co-published here in Salon? Mr. Kennedy cherry-picked his data and showed an obvious agenda in his autism article, and it went unquestioned by Salon. Why are his uses of the same techniques being questioned now?
The inherent hypocrisy highlighted by the differing responses to these two articles by Mr. Kennedy is symptomatic of the overall decline in quality here at Salon. After subscribing since the inception of memberships, I have allowed mine to lapse and I won't be renewing it.
